Raspberry Cream Cheese Turnovers
- 1 whole Sheet Frozen Puff Pastry
- 1-1/2 cup Raspberries (or Cherries)
- 2 Tablespoons Granulated Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Lemon Juice
- 1/2 Tablespoons Water
- 1/2 Tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2-1/2 ounces, weight 1/3 Less Fat Cream Cheese, Softened
- 3 Tablespoons Powdered Sugar
- 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 1 whole Egg Yolk
- 2 Tablespoons Milk
- Sugar In The Raw, Optional Garnish
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat.
- Lightly dust a clean countertop with flour. Using a rolling pin, roll out the puff pastry to very thin - about 1/8-inch thick. Cut out circles. (I used an upside down cup to cut out 10 identical 4-inch circles.) Place puff pastry circles on the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate.
- Add raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice to a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat until raspberries release their juices and have softened, about 5 minutes.
- In a small bowl stir together water and cornstarch. Add it to the raspberries and stir constantly until thickened. Remove from heat. Cool to room temperature.
- In a small bowl, whisk together cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla until combined.
- To Assemble: Beat egg yolk and milk together in a small bowl. Working on half of the chilled puff pastry circles, spread a thin layer of cream cheese mixture and then top with raspberry mixture. Brush edges of the pastry with egg wash and top with another puff pastry circle. Crimp edges with a fork. Chill for 15 minutes. Brush egg wash on top of turnovers and sprinkle with raw sugar. Cut 2 or 3 slits in the top of each turnover with a sharp knife.
- Bake at 400u0b0F for 15-20 minutes, or until browned. Serve warm.
